i think president obama did act like a president this week. >> along the lines of the 2004 barack obama hope and change and john mccain maverick, how would you describe mitt romney's strategy? what is the underlying theme here? i'll go to you first, michael. >> i think that's to be rather frank about it, i think that's part of this challenge that the romney team faces. going back to your first question, the foreign policy issue was not a forefront of the tis cushion. it sort of crept into the debate. i don't think there is a central theme, core theme that really distinguishes the foreign policy of barack obama from a foreign policy of a president obama. that's something that given recent events the obama team -- or the romney team has to do and do so in a very presidential way. >> governor? >> i think michael's right about that. but historically there hasn't been a lot of difference between republican and democratic foreign policy. i think george w. bush was an exception. i don't think a democratic president would have sent us to war in iraq. generally speaking, the american foreign pol

was he barack hussein obama or barack obama, the 44th president of the united states? i don't think that has been resolved. i think that's still playing out. there's an enigma about the man and we're still trying to it answer it. >> what about your obvious inside access? how easy that was to come by? >> never easy. >> not. >> never easy. a lot of people this think that you do certain deals or someone hands it to you on a plate. the candidate obama first suggested to me about a book, and i thought, naively, i told him it was a stupid idea and i wouldn't do it. >> hang on, you told him it was a stupid idea? >> i actually did say that. i had to get back to him a few weeks later and say -- >> i am sorry. >> i've talked to a few people about it and maybe it's not so stupid. he was quite happy to tell me that i actually was the stupid one. but i assumed -- this is where it was stupid -- i assumed the candidate suggests this thing and now i think it's a good idea so you've got cooperation, right? far from it. there were endless roadblocks. people think if it you get the big i

hold president obama under 40% among the white vote to -- so that obama doesn't hit 50%. so if president obama ends up getting 80% of the minority vote, 40% or more of the white vote, that means that he's going to be at 50% or above. that's a great way to look at this election just by measuring all the demographics and looking at them. >> in the key swing states, the latest nbc news poll looks at colorado, iowa, wisconsin, and look at how these are framing out with the president ahead in all three. >> again, hitting that 50% mark. i can't stress enough how important that is. you see in the battleground states of colorado and wisconsin, president obama with a five-point lead. in iowa, a state that had been problematic for obama the past three or four months, up eight points. you're seeing things all breaking in this direction right now with six weeks to go. >> all right. how likely is it that this poll could change as we get closer? this is obviously posts-convention polling. we're now 11 days out from the very first debate. how much wiggle room do you think there is betwe

he made the case better for president obama than obama has ever made for himself. so i think not so much the endorsement but just the road map is the biggest favor he did for the obamas. >> 'anne, the romney attack releasing a slew of ads, three states they're not running the ads, michigan wisconsin and pennsylvania. what is it that suggest to you? are they giving up in those states? >> i don't know giving up. you could read it that way. you could also say focusing on better states. michigan was always going to be a long shot. mitt romney wants to win one of his home states, family history there. but it's been a democratic state. pennsylvania, we call it a swing state but that's really a misnomer. it's a state that democrats win and republicans always want to win. it's been a while since it's gone the other way. i'm not that surprised. i gegs it's a little early to not run ads there. let's wait and see if that continues. we have 58 more days. they could always change their minds. >> patricia, all said and done, the conventions may not move the needle at all. anne w
